Hi. Struggling to figure this out. At the bottom of this page:
https://dlang.org/library/std/conv/octal.html is a vague
reference to using parse. However, when I use what I would
assume to be correct based on this:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_conv.html#.parse.3 and the fact
that in the octal page it says octal is also a enum, I see no
reason this syntax shouldn't work:
import std.conv;
umaskVal = parse!octal(data.umask);
Yet I get an error saying the compiler cannot deduce which
overload of parse to use... How do I do this parse? Am I going
about this the wrong way? Is there a better way to parse a
string as a normal base8 ushort?
Nevermind. I've just figured it out from this forum post :-)

All I needed to do was:
umaskVal = parse!ushort(data.umask, 8);
